Paddling Tips

•Bring bug spray — shaded creeks can have active mosquitoes.
•Go slow and enjoy the scenery — creeks offer some of the most intimate paddling.
•Expect tight turns and occasional strainers (downed trees across the water).
•A shorter kayak or canoe (under 12 feet) handles creek turns more easily.
